Many reasons to feel loved...A beautiful family and a new bun in the oven!

WOW! 9 weeks and 5 days!  I know that for many of you, by the time you read this I will be 12 weeks, but I couldn't help but start this blog today.  After all, it is the day of love and the love I feel for my family - Gorvin, Riely, and our new little bundle - is undescribable.

When we discovered we were expecting Gorvin wanted to tell the world, but I was paranoid to no end.  I swore no shopping and no telling anyone, But I have been growing so fast, and people started asking questions, so we told our closest family and friends and co workers.

As preparation for our BIG REVEAL on March 1st (after my 1st Dr's Appointment) I have created this blog to share our pregnancy journey with our family and friends - especially those back home in NFLD.  I will post some photos later.  For now, I will leave you with a questionnaire that I will fill out once a month!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

How far along are you:  9w 5d

Total weight gain/loss:  -8lbs

Maternity clothes:  oddly enough, im wearing maternity clothes even with my weight loss.    I have been so sick so Im sure that is the main culprit for my weight loss.  They are so comfy and my stomach is growing so fast.

Sleep:  Completely messed up!  I sleep all day and am up all night!  I would almost bet that this baby is coming during the night.  I try everthing but I still toss and turn all night, all while trying to stay on my left side :(

Best moment this week:  Going almost and entire day without throwing up (Keyword: ALMOST)  Hopefully this means the end of my sickness is near (crossing fingers)

Movement:  None yet

Cravings:  Fruit, fruit and more fruit.  McDonalds smoothies are my best friend.

Gender:  Unknown

Labor signs:  None.  Lets stay that way for 30 more weeks!

Belly button in/out:  In - For now.

What I miss:  Cafe Mochas, especially now that they have caramel ones...

What I am looking forward to:  My 1st appt, and hopefully hearing a heartbeat.

Weekly wisdom:  DO NOT eat penny candies and drink a root beer float.  You WILL regret this in about 45 minutes.

Milestones:  We've chosen names...but I'm gonna make you wait a bit to find out :P

Haha...Not a very flattering photo, but it certainly shows how much I have grown already!!!
